Me: "Do you know how many times you've tweeted about Piker since you wrote that tweet [about not tweeting about him] on August 30th?"
@mattyglesias: "Probably more than I intended to."
Me: "8 times.... you tweeted about Mike Rogers 6 times. So you're tweeting about the streamer you didn't want to talk about more than the Republican candidate you say you want to defeat."
Yglesias: "Yeah, that's fair."
Me: "Why?"
Yglesias: "What do you want me to say? You got me."
From my new Zeteo interview with the top centrist pundit - on the left, Michigan, Gaza, immigration, polls, electability, and more:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Yglesias's posts since Aug 30 include ~5 mentioning Piker and at least 9 mentioning Rogers/Rodgers, not 8 and 6. Hasan posted about Piker ~35 times in the period.

Someone who worked on Dragon Age Veilguard told me that an executive told the devs to "Make the aesthetic of the game like Fortnite"
Make the dark medieval fantasy RPG... like Fortnite.
I have a take on all this.
This is literally evil.
Before you say "it's not that deep"
Video games are an artform that touch millions of people. During our formative years so many of us can point to a moment, a cutscene, a time of our lives where a game changed who we are and how we think. Video games have shaped me into the person I am today and why I do what I do every day. Making something that has that kind of power is an immense responsibility, you are shaping the culture of the world. That art and potential being in the hands of some greedy businessman who couldn't care less about games as an artform and only wants to appease shareholders.. is evil. It's a literal evil effecting current and future generations of our entire species.

Small patch note preview for tomorrow, Re: Pantheon
Fixed an issue where players could use Divinity to deal damage to Insurrection Prime outside of the standard damage phase.
- As a result of this fix, Divinity and any damage applied to its cage will not deal damage to Insurrection Prime at any point in the encounter.
- - In other words, do not use Divinity.
- - Insurrection Prime's Fallen Tech has been updated to circumvent this exotic weapon.
- Our condolences to every player that now needs to learn the encounter mechanics.

ALT Once again, Double Fine Productions will be an independent studio. We're thankful to everyone at Xbox for seven great years together, and for working with us to reach an outcome which preserves our history and culture, and returns ownership of our games to us. To everyone who has reached out to us these past few weeks: Thank you so much for all your kind words, we've been deeply touched by all your messages. We will share more news soon on what comes next. Your continued support is greatly appreciated, Tim & All at Double Fine

I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing.
Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.

Sony: Buys Bungie because of Destiny
Also Sony: Cancels Destiny
Beyond frustrating update today.

It's been a pleasure working at Bungie for the last 3 and a half years. I can't thank my colleagues enough for everything I've learned.
Super bummed out I got hit by the layoffs. Definitely going to take some time to decompress after those stressful few weeks of silence.

And with that, it looks like my time with Bungie has come to an end. It's been a pleasure, and I'll have more to say and show off later. This job was a dream I still can't believe came true.
Bungie Strong
Destiny Forever
….
To all of our friends who dedicated the last years to providing us with literally life changing experiences, a simple “thank you” will never be enough.
You deserve so much better. I know you’ll all go on to do amazing things and I can’t wait to see you all succeed.

Replying to @Bungie
It’s time to say thank you.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all the devs at Bungie who poured their heart and soul into this game and this community. Destiny is one of a kind. We are forever grateful.
To some of the higher ups, we have a different message. But we’ll save that for another day.

Alright, so. My sources (Bungie, not Sony), on the "Sony revenge" storyline:
- The impression is that this reported info *probably* comes from PlayStation employee observers, not anyone high up with significant knowledge of leadership's mindset.
- Some at PlayStation have "publicly wondered" why D2 is ending support, but keep in mind there are like 12K people working there.
- This is almost entire financial, simply Destiny 2 cost more than it made. Math. Cruel math, but math. No one at Bungie has any belief this is some "revenge" idea.
- It is obvious to everyone Bungie has not performed well and it is not exactly Sony's golden child. But this idea that Sony is blaming Bungie for Concord and all the rest of the live stuff is a huge reach. Sony isn't doing this to "punish" Bungie for some transgression via its live service plans or game underperformance.
- Despite atomizing Destiny 2 support to the point where there won't even be hotfixes, there are zero plans to wind down actual servers.
So take anything too hyperbolic with a giant pile of salt. Like the basics may be true, Bungie didn't live up to what Sony wanted, some employees working at PS may not understand or like this move, but this isn't as cloak and dagger as it's being portrayed. It's corporate, albeit that is obviously its own kind of bad. I'll probably have a piece or vid on all this tomorrow, but I see this spreading like wildfire.

At its best, content was a machine to create memories and friendships. No new content stings.
This pain is about losing a place where so many memories were made. It stings not because of what it was, but the realization of what it won't be.
